Chapter Two: the bunkhouse and bunkmates
Predict:
Imagine:
The sleeping quarters will probably look like they somehow managed to build it in a matter of a month or so, nails will be bent when in line to connect two planks. Three rows of bunk beds on both sides of the building, each bunk has a special place for it's inhabitants personal belongings, like shaving cream and anything to read (if they can read.)
Clarify:
When George starts spinning webs of lies around him and Lennie about how they met up with each other, and how Lennie can't speak up for himself ( only due to the fact that apparently he was kicked in the head by horse when a small child.) George only does that in precaution to Lennie saying something he shouldn't, and make everyone weary of them, and not be accepted.
Try:
Use:
I remember each year of school, or even a new job, people are trying to spin stories about themselves to make them more appealing to other because all anyone wants are friends, and for people to at least know something about them, even if it is the smallest thing, and if it isn't the greatest bit of information.
Review:
We get to know all the other workers a little more, learning that most of them are flat characters, and how Curley can't keep tabs on his own wife, and how the men suspect that Curley's wife comes from a gentlemen's pub. Lennie almost blows it for the both of him and George, almost having to speak for himself, and then more 'back story' on how he knows George.
- Lennie will probably do something to anger all the other housemates. And only George will be unphased by it because he's used to his antics.
- Some of the other worker's will be telling stories of what happens, how some people will work until they get some money, leave and end up blowing it all away, and how the Boss will drop off some alcohol for the holidays.

Try:
- Why would George be so against cleanliness, even if there is a precaution against lice?
- It seems a little bit shady how the Boss only makes one or two appearances in the book, wouldn't a employer want to get to know his workers, and try to get rid of those who are only there for the wrong reasons?
- Curley seems to only be in the book for the pure aspect of humor seeing how the worker's make fun of him for his actions and his wife, wouldn't a writer want more than one character for humor?
